Pre-tourney games in the Canary Islands are a great idea.  Team USA is so ready to PLAY!  Tonight we play Latvia.

Team USA is ready!

Warming up in the arena

The coaches are ready!

The National Athem was played before the game.

Last instructions from Coach Showalter.  Time to play!

Team USA 108 - Latvia 72.  Great first game!

Don and I were invited out with a coaching friend from Gran Canaria to a gathering at a home.  It was fun to be with the locals and enjoy their way of life.  The beautiful home was up in the hills.  We stood around for hours snacking on tapas then sat for hours with the meal.  All spoke English to some degree except the hostess.

Watching the preparations in the kitchen.

Yummy!

We ate out on the patio.  It was a fun night.
